Tomatoes in jelly with gelatin and onions for winter
I share an interesting recipe for an unusual preparation for the winter. So, we will preserve tomatoes with vegetables in jelly. Such tomatoes will 100% delight your guests and become the center of attention on the festive table! Jelly can be served to the table with vegetables.
Ingredients
- Cherry tomatoes - 1,4 kg
- Bell pepper - 1 pcs.
- Onion - 2 pcs.
- Bay leaf - 2 pcs.
- Black Pepper (polka dots) – 2 pcs.
- Water - 1 l
- Gelatin - 20 g
- Vinegar (9%) – 2 art.l.
- Salt - 1 tbsp.l.
- Sugar - 2 art.l.
Step-by-step cooking recipe
Wash all the vegetables and dry them slightly. I advise you to choose dense tomatoes of small size for this preparation (cherry or cocktail ones are perfect).
Peel Bulgarian pepper from seeds and stalks, cut into rings or straws, onion - half rings.
Fill sterile jars with tomatoes (up to about half), put a layer of chopped onion on the tomatoes, then Bulgarian pepper.
Pour dry gelatin into each jar at the rate of 5 g per 0.5 l jar (10 g per 1 l jar, respectively), evenly distributing it over the vegetable layer.
Put the remaining tomatoes, onions and peppers in jars.
Prepare the marinade: boil 1 liter of water in a saucepan, add salt, sugar, black pepper and bay leaf. Stir, bring to a boil and boil the marinade for 1-2 minutes.
Pour boiling marinade over vegetables in jars.
Cover the jars with sterile lids and sterilize in a pot of boiling water for 5 minutes. The sterilization time is indicated for cherry tomatoes in cans of 0.5 liters. If you use other varieties of tomatoes or cans with a capacity of 1 liter, increase the sterilization time to 15 minutes at a low boil.
After sterilization, pour 0.5 tablespoons of vinegar into each jar (for cans of 1 liter - 1 tablespoon), roll up the jars, turn upside down, wrap and leave until completely cooled. Transfer the cooled tomatoes in jelly to a cool, dark place for storage.
Before serving, I recommend putting a jar with a blank in the refrigerator overnight - then the jelly marinade will harden as much as possible and take the form of a real jelly.
